Marc, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was very clean and nice. Issues with lack of staff due to illness through the property however raised concern. Extremely overpriced to eat within the hotel with breakfast $50 per person. Central to all activities and nice outdoor pool area.

Very nice hotel.

Best resort in the area. A haven from the intense elements around.

Small nice resort near Ayer’s Rock.
Irina, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place is very expensive for very few amenities. No gym, no heated pools, no balls for kids to play with. The food is ridiculously expensive and the wait at the pool grill even once seated was ridiculous. And we froze to death even though there were running heating lamps all over the patio not being used, staff refused to move us and the heating lamps. Prepare to be underwhelmed and you won’t be disappointed.
Sanjay, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and comfortable. There weren't enough places to eat without walking a long way. If you didn't have a car, there was only a shuttle to take you around the campus. Otherwise, to get to the parks, you had to buy a bus ticket for over $100 that only had a few options to see everything.

Great location which all the tour buses leave from. Lovely lovely staff. Decent menu. The room was very very expensive, but I appreciate that’s about scarcity and remoteness. I hope a big chunk of the funds go to staff and local community.
Pene, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very extraordinary and professional in the desert. All the services and people there are work. Beautiful region and natur. Wonderful atmosphere and relaxing. Worth visiting! And the National Park and Uluru are great!
Renate, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Well worth a visit.

From the minute we were picked up at the airport to the time we left, the service was very good. The staff were friendly and professional. Food was good with generous portions. Facilities were good, there were never queues or waits. The room had everything we needed and more. We are seasoned travellers and this is one of the better hotels we have been to.
Zoe, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really nice experience, especially appreciated soaking in the pool after a hot day of hiking. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet had a large selections of food. Only down side was that we weren’t able to get a late check out. The porter watched our bags while we finished shopping so no problem.
Scott, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Our room was not ready well after the 3pm promised time, we ask for a late check out, and they say yes. Guess what?, they locked us out at 10am at check out day. Had to go to the office, long hot walk to have my room keys reactivated. The staff is sweet and nice but not sure if they are trained properly. Everything else was A
Juan, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was a great place to stay except that we had no offer of help to move all our bags even though we saw others given help, were only given two hand towels and l found some rubbish under one of the chairs in the room! When leaving the staff were quite rude and dismissive! The staff that cleaned the rooms were really lovely and quickly sorted us all out.
Helen, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Food was just “OK”. Main reason for poor review was: first there were ants in our bed. Next morning we asked and they promptly moved us to a new room where there were, wait for it, also ants in the bed and a spider on the wall. I know it’s the desert but seriously invest in some frequent pest control services! Customer facing staff was nice. Not their fault. Area is worth seeing but no more than 2 nights recommended.
James Stuart, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The property was overall well maintained, quite, and safe. The staff was friendly. Check in was easy and the room was comfortable. There was free laundry but only 2 washers and dryers for the whole complex, so be prepared for people to be impatient if your clothes don't dry on their time. The one bad thing was ants. We had ants around our room from the time we checked in. We reported it and nothing happened. We reported it again. Nothing happened. We bought our own ant spray and sprayed outside. We then found ants inside which got into my computer and I was bit several times. I asked for the manager who simply said sorry and that we should have known about the bug spray that was already in the room. Shouldn't the 1st two people we reported the ants to, have told us...... The manager offered nothing but a sorry that she would discuss it with house keeping.

Ok and not ok

Hotel and facilities are ok. That’s all, reception service was dissatisfied. Arrived about 1 pm, was told room is not ready. Room is clean. In my opinion staff could call and get answers 30-60 min? No, answer was before 3 pm. Not good service! Asked also for later check out, as hotels normal is 10 am. Person did not even check, got quick answer, it will cost 60 aud/hour. Maybe normal in Australia??? Wi-Fi did not work in lobby/main area. Asked staff at reception and got straight answer. It has not been working, as long as I remember. First I thought it was a bad joke, but he was very serious. No go!
